WOODEN MANUFACTURES IN KAN
SAS.

There is enough wool grown in Kansas
| to justify the erection of few large man
ufacturing establishments in the state. In
1890 there was 1874 wooden mills in the six
New England States, and 66S in twelve
| western states and territories, including
Utah. Washington and California. The
list does not include Kansas. The wool
clip of Maine in 1880 was 2, no, 407 pounds,
that of New Hampshire was i,O60.5 $50
pounds, Vermont, 2,551, liz, Massa
chusetts 209,0S9, Rhode Island Co.
$50, Connecticut $50, 1873, making total
clip of 6, 7S3,011 pounds; an average for
every state of l, 1853, $50 pounds. The clip
of Kansas for the same year was 1855, 932
pounds, more than double the average for
the six New England states which have
194 wooden mills, an average Of 1872 mills
to the state.
The growing Of wool is profitable in
Kansas, though a few good tiocks were
sold in the last two years under pressure of
fear rather than actual loss. Prices fell
and some timid farmers felt panicky. But
the tide is turning now. Men have
learned something. and among the good
things learned is that sheep husbandry, to
be profitable, must have careful and con-
tinuous attention. There are as good sheep
in Kansas as in any other state, and there
is just as good wool grown here as any
where. The quantity will increase in fu-
ture, because farmers will take better care
of their flocks. If good market for clean
wool was brought to our doors in the form
of factories. the business of grow
ing wool would extend rapidly and
become very profitable. An ex
change remarks truly that Kansas is much
better situated in every respect than New
England was when her wooden mills began
to operate successfully; better situated, we
mean, in reference to the places where wool
is grown, and as to facilities for getting it
to the mills. We are now raising more than
one third as much wool ds all New Eng
land. 1t is growing right at our doors, and
will cost practically nothing to get it to
the mills Then, too, all the adjoin-
ing States raise wool, and some of that
would come to our mills if We had them.
Our own products would be trebled in five
years if mills were started up to manu-
facture the wool The quantity raised
would soon equal in value about all the
necessary family expenditures Of the farm
ers.
There is good opening in Kansas
for wool manufactures. There Is no
room for doubt on this point. The
wool Is here to show for itself. Our
grasses and climate are peculiarly well
adapted to the production of wool. The
quantity which could and would be raised,
if there was home market for it, would |
be immense The Kansas Farmer looks
forward hopefully to the time when our
farmers will not be compelled TO send their
wool outside their own state in order to
have it made into cotton or yarn.-Kansas

interstate commerce law has wrought con
fusion in the clerical departments of the

long established classitcations, which con-
slant shippers had not come TO understand
so far as their business was concerned, and
which even puzzled the lifelong clerks in
the freight departments Of the railways,
have, by The compliance with the new law,
been so changed to properly adjust rates
as to make the whole seem like one great

there among sea-faring officers and others
interested in shipping over the impend-
ing change OF officers. as many of the
men have had COMMAND of the steamers
for years. In Eogiish shipping circles,
he SAID. The opinion is general that the
prospective changes have q deeidedlg

to be manned by German officers, il is
to be assumed that in the event of any
outbreak of hostilIties between Russia,
Austria and Germany, Belgium will
stand by Germany and 10 turn Wall be
supported by ihe latter.
The only reason, then. thst can be ar
rived OF in England, he said, is that the
proposed wholesale. changes are for the
purpose OF having the steamers changed
II to transports and swift cruisers.
Although Belgium has no navy she
has quite a large merchant marine, con-
sistiog OF 30 fisst-clsse iron steamship, rs
sailing ships, and abont 800 fishing veg
sells. The steamships are nearly all fast
screw vessels. and will make good trans-
ports. and they can easily be converted
into unarmored cruisers. This fleet
would be OF no small Importance to Ger
many in the event of q war.

Washington, ID. O., Dec. 2s-A good
many doubts were expressed to-day
whether President Cleveland would
really attend the funeral of the late
Secretary Manning. IL ia true that he
promised on Saturday to go, but he also
promised TO attend the funeral of Mr..
Hendricks, and although a vice press
dent and closely associated with the
chief executive, the latter said at the
last moment that ha would not go. He
had no real excuse for not attending the
funeral, either. Then there Was more
reason for him to attend the funeral of
the Indianian. Mr., Hendricks and the
president were very good friends to the
very moment OF the formers death. An
old New Yorker, who was thoroughly
acquainted with both the president and
Mr.. Manning said tonight: .Mr. Man.
nlng. wheIs ne left the cabinet, did SO
because he could not get along with the
president. Mi. Cleveland did every
thing he could TO hamper hia secretary
OF the treasury, and that which hurt
Secretary Manning more than any
thing else WAS when the presi-
dent ordered the dissolution Of the Man
ming club, organized in honor Of the
secretary OF the treasury. Mr.. Manning
felt the little insults heaped npon him
by tho president, and TO his most inti-
mate iriends he never failed to refer TO

The CorToS FACTORY AT LAuRsxs-Th,
large attendance. present At the meeting las
Tuesday night was at once gratifying and rs
suring, manifesting, as it did, the deep inter
est felt by our people In the proposed Cotton
Factory. If there had been any doubt as Il
their earnesiness and unanimity Il was entirely
dispelled. The discussion was of o calm
practical, earnest character. The action oi
the meeting was of like character, as will be
seen by reference to the proceedings elsewhere
In this issue.
II is proposed to raise, by private subscrip-
ton, one hundred thousand dollars for the
purpose indicated above, by the people of
Lsurens, Town and County. This amount Is
to be supplemented by a similar amounut To
DO raised, and which has been promised, out
side the County, making the capital stock $780,
ooO. The shares. very properly, We think,
have been placed at the low figure Of twenty
hve dollars. This will enable people Of small
means TO subscribe. No money is to be called
Tor before October next, when one-fourth will
be required. After that time the money will
be called for at stated times, to be fixed
by the the Directors.
One hundred thousand dollars is largo sum
OF money, but it should be remembered that
the object In view is largo ono, and the bene-
hts to DO derived from it will be large. And
then again, the amount proposed 10 to be
raised BY general subscription. As all will be
benehtted oil can afford 10 subscribe
sccording to their means, much or little.
Thus, what at first glances may appear an al
most impossible amount, can, by united effort,
be promptly obtained.
of course 1t will require active, persistent
work to accomplish tho desired end. II re-
quires work. hard work, to secure anything
worth having But Cotton Factory here is o
necessity, unless we arc willing to sit down
eontentedly, aud see our neigh6ors on every
side Of us outstripping and leaving Us far be-
hind in the march OF improvement and prog
ress. Weare not willing to bslieve our people
will allow this. A little over one year ago q
Building and Loan Association was organised
here, which has made almost unprecedented
progress, and is still in rapid progress. Next,
only few months since, National Bank was
established, This, too, has progressed most
satisfactorily, and it is now contemplated to
increase its capital to 100000. Another
National Bank, we are informed, will be start
cd here early next Fall, nearly all the stock
having been subscribed This is the strongest
evidence that our people are neither dead nor
sleeping, but wide awake and full Of business
life and vigor. We might enumerate other
proofs Of this, but these are sufficient for the
present.
With proper effort, which we feel confident
is going to be made, tho proposed Cotton Fac
tory Is An assured success.-Herald 1st inst.
